During DrupalCon 2022, Dries Buytaert, the founder of Drupal, introduced the concept of "Starter templates," sparking the inception of the Distributions and Recipes initiative. Aiming to streamline Drupal's usage, this initiative introduces Recipes to the platform as Experimental APIs in the 10.3 core. Addressing the longstanding challenges faced by developers who have historically bundled functionalities to create diverse solutions, Recipes allow for module automation and configuration at any stage in a Drupal site's lifecycle.

As detailed by Jim Birch, the Drupal Engineering Manager at Kanopi Studios, a Drupal Recipe merely necessitates a folder with a recipe.yml file and optional /config and /content folders, among other files. While Recipes offer substantial flexibility, they have certain restrictions to maintain functionality and sustainability, such as the inability to have their own code or make dynamic changes. Once applied, Recipes become the site's responsibility and are crucial to crafting and managing varied Drupal solutions. This initiative acknowledges the complexities of installation profiles, distributions, and custom modules, marking a significant leap toward addressing these challenges.
